ADJUSTING INFEED ROLLER
The infeed roller feeds the stock into the planer while the
stock is being surfaced. The infeed roller must be
positioned uniformly across the planer and .040" below
the cutting circle to feed the stock without slipping. To
check the setting of the infeed roller, proceed as follows:
1.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM
POWER SOURCE.
2.
Make certain the knives are adjusted properly as
explained in section
“CHECKING, ADJUSTING AND
REPLACING KNIVES.”
3.
Place gage block (A) Fig. 46, on the table, directly
under the cutterhead (B). Using a .040" feeler gage (C)
placed on top of the gage block (A), raise the table until
the cutterhead knife just touches feeler gage (A) when
the knife is at its lowest point.
NOTE:
Do not move the
table any further until the adjustment is complete.
4.
Place gage block (A) Fig. 47, under infeed roller (D).
The bottom of roller (D) should just touch gage block (A).
5.
If an adjustment is necessary, loosen locknut (E)
Fig. 48, and turn adjustment screw (F) until the infeed
roller just touches the top of gage block (A).
6.
Repeat the adjustment on the opposite end of the
infeed roller in the same manner.
